**Chapter 727: The Link of Interests**
Both the Tyrant Dragon Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates have seen their territories shrink significantly.
They are now confined to Wano Country, possessing only a small number of islands in the surrounding seas.
With the huge interests brought by Wano Country, other islands and territories are no longer important.
This means that the living space for New World Pirates has further expanded.
First, it was the John Pirates, and now the majority of the territories belonging to the Silver Axe Pirates and the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
In the vast sea areas, who knows which young and powerful pirates will rise?
At the very least, neither the Tyrant Dragon Pirates nor the Silver Axe Pirates will conduct external expansion before one of them is eliminated or leaves Wano Country.
"Mom! Mom! It's settled then, Hades."
"Linlin, it was a pleasure cooperating."
Hades hung up the Den Den Mushi.
The cooperation with the Big Mom Pirates is naturally concerning Wano Country.
Hades had initially planned to give up purchasing Seastone for a short time, thinking Silver Axe had occupied Wano Country.
Unexpectedly, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates temporarily reached a reconciliation.
The six major Top Powers formulated the Wano Country agreement.
This way, the Kronos Kingdom can fully intervene.
If the six major Top Powers need Seastone, their acquisition price will be very low.
To prevent freeloading, it was also stipulated that purchases must be made with money.
As long as the money can be produced, purchasing any amount is not an issue.
The cooperation between the Kronos Kingdom and the Big Mom Pirates involves purchasing Wano Country's Seastone through the Big Mom Pirates.
The Kronos Kingdom provides the funds, and the Big Mom Pirates purchase it using their internal price, essentially acting as a proxy.
As for the content of the agreement between the two sides, it is a marriage alliance.
For two Family Forces, a marriage alliance is undoubtedly the best method for cooperation.
This proposal wasn't sudden.
It originated a long time ago, five or six years ago.
That's when a few of Hades' Children, who hadn't hidden their true identity, began to make a name for themselves on the Great Sea, and Charlotte Linlin actively initiated a marriage alliance invitation with Hades.
Regarding this matter, Hades neither refused nor agreed.
Matters like marriage alliances undoubtedly require great caution.
Entering a marriage alliance with a powerful Faction like the Big Mom Pirates certainly has benefits for the Kronos Kingdom.
It ensures the stability of the Kronos Kingdom's western sea area and is also beneficial to the Kronos Kingdom's secret development.
The strength of the Big Mom Pirates ranks high among all Pirate Crews, and they possess great potential.
Today's Big Mom Pirates are very different from the one in Hades' memory, starting from the birth of the Monster Typhon and the huge gain from the Battle of God Valley.
There are still a few little monsters within the Big Mom Pirates who haven't grown up yet.
Without a doubt, in terms of reserve potential, few Pirate Crews can compare to the Big Mom Pirates.
However, as the King of the Kronos Kingdom, having his own Child enter a marriage alliance with a Pirate Faction like the Big Mom Pirates doesn't sound good.
It's very likely to cause an impact on the Kingdom's influence.
The World Government might also resist the Kronos Kingdom to some extent.
Maintaining a detached stance is very important.
Although the Kronos Kingdom has the strength to disregard outside opinions, Hades is extremely cautious when it comes to certain aspects.
Sometimes, one wrong step can lead to extremely serious consequences.
Doing nothing is instead the best course of action.
Moreover, the Big Mom Pirates haven't reached a degree of importance to the Kronos Kingdom that warrants such a move.
The connections are also not as close as with the Sterling Family.
Why agree now? It's still because of interests.
Sometimes, for the sake of the Kingdom's development, even Hades cannot avoid convention.
Moreover, a marriage alliance isn't a bad thing; it's beneficial to both sides.
Regarding the Big Mom Pirates, Hades cannot possibly marry off a daughter.
And marrying a daughter of the Charlotte Family cannot satisfy Linlin.
This cannot achieve her desired purpose of a marriage alliance with Hades' Children.
In this regard, Hades holds the dominant position because it is the Big Mom Pirates who desire the marriage alliance.
Cooperating with Linlin and having the Big Mom Pirates help purchase Seastone is just a small requirement.
By entering a marriage alliance with the Kronos Kingdom, what can the Big Mom Pirates gain? It's truly immense.
The most crucial gain is the Giant Warrior.
Although the relationship between the Big Mom Pirates and the Giant Tribe has eased, this doesn't prevent the hostility of most Giant Warriors towards Charlotte Linlin.
Perhaps the thoughts of some Giant Tribe members are relatively simple, which also means that the members of the Giant Tribe tend to hold grudges.
Moreover, it is Typhon who has gained the recognition of the Elbaf Giant Tribe, and there are also several Giant Tribe members under Typhon's command, but this has no relation to the Big Mom Pirates.
It should be known that the Kronos Kingdom is now the Giant Kingdom's only Ally, a strategic Companion.
The figure of Prince Loki of the Giant Kingdom has appeared multiple times on Paros Island.
And on the Kronos Kingdom homeland itself, ships from Elbaf dock every so often.
Finally, Hades and Linlin reached a consensus: both sides will conduct multiple marriage alliances.
Before that, Hades had already conducted a selection process among Linlin's existing daughters.
Appearance is naturally the main factor.
As for potential, as Linlin's Children, their potential is actually quite good.
He finally chose Linlin's twenty-two year old sixth daughter Custard, twelve year old fourteenth daughter Smoothie, and sixteenth daughter Snanamon, as well as the only eight year old eighteenth daughter Galette.
However, the marriage alliance partners have not been decided yet.
Custard needs to join the Pluto Pirates.
As for the other three daughters, they need to be sent to the Kronos Kingdom to learn.
Regarding this, Linlin did not object.
The Big Mom Pirates don't know much about the Kronos Kingdom.
The Pluto Pirates, to a great extent, represent the Kronos Kingdom.
However, Linlin's requirement is absolute: it must be Hades' Son.
Hades and Linlin also agreed upon this.
On the surface, the Pluto Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates will enter a marriage alliance.
The object of the marriage alliance is Hades' Son, however, his true identity will not be revealed.
As long as the Big Mom Pirates don't say anything, the outside world won't know.
The Kronos Kingdom obtains Seastone through the Big Mom Pirates.
The other two Superpowers are also not peaceful.
The Landis Kingdom obtains Seastone through the Demon King Pirates, extending their reach into the New World.
And the Eternal Kingdom? Their demand for Seastone is greater.
Led by "Loan Shark King" Du Feld, they have begun contacting the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
